The Ark - a wooden house floating on a boat

这个方舟木屋由跨多学科的视觉艺术家Beth Derbyshire设计，是一个放置在移动驳船上面的木结构建筑，具有典型的英国兰开夏郡的梯田建筑风格。室内有新拍的关于本地工业和文化遗产的纪录片。每年五、六月份，这个建筑会从Blackburn一直旅行，在利兹和利物浦运河，到达Brierfield，沿途会停靠，并且举行各种关于景观和文化的纪念活动。这个建筑看上去好像是在漂浮在船上的小木屋，有着兰开夏郡的建筑风格。住宅外墙都被切割出了伊斯兰纺织品的图案形状，主立面刻有paisley花纹——一种来自波斯和印度的植物图案。屋顶是一个生态草垫，象征了这个地区的废弃采石场、工厂和模仿都变成了现在鲜花盛开的荒芜草地。

'The ark' by multi-disciplinary visual artist Beth Derbyshire is a moving sculpture comprised of a wooden structure resembling the typical terraced housing of Pennine Lancashire， UK， placed upon a barge. Inside， newly commissioned films explore the industrial and cultural heritage of the region. Traveling ten miles from Blackburn to Brierfield down the Leeds and Liverpool canal during May and June， 'the ark' will stop at communities along the way in a celebration of the diversity and heritage of the region's different landscape and cultures. Seen from the tow path， the structure appears as a wooden house floating on a boat， representing the housing style of Pennine Lancashire. The sides of the dwelling are intricately cut into shapes referencing Islamic textile patterns， and the main wall is carved in a paisley pattern， a droplet-shaped vegetable motif of persian or indian origin. The roof is conceived as a living meadow， a symbol of the flower-rich grasslands of the region’s disused quarries， contrasting the factories and mills as it passes on its journey down the waterway.
